Magnum Coffee expands its production facility

Kevin Kihnke wrote his master’s thesis on the rise of specialty coffee.

He took that thesis to the bank, received a loan and started Magnum Coffee, a specialty coffee roaster that has grown into one of the largest in the Midwest.

Magnum is currently expanding, adding another 45,000 to 50,000 square feet of space to its facility in Nunica, partially to make room for its growing single-serve, Keurig-compatible abilities. The growth in the single-cup market is new, but the company is already filling cups for the clients it’s had for years.
